Arawaks

**Arawaks** are a Brazilian reggae band known for blending roots reggae with Brazilian rhythms and conscious lyrics. Hailing from São Paulo, the group has been a staple in Brazil’s vibrant reggae scene since forming in the late ’90s, drawing inspiration from icons like Bob Marley while infusing their sound with regional flavors like samba and maracatu. Their music often centers on themes of social justice, spirituality, and unity, reflected in tracks like the uplifting *Pura Vibe* and the rootsy *Só Jah Jah*. With releases like *Erva Sagrada* and *O Choro*, Arawaks continue to champion reggae’s message of positivity while keeping their sound fresh and connected to Brazil’s cultural heartbeat. Their laid-back grooves and earnest vibe make them a favorite for both reggae purists and casual listeners.
